Gordon said U.S. Marshals tracked Woods, 22, into another state. The suspect then returned to Georgia when investigators began closing in on him. Marshals finally found Woods in hiding at a DeKalb house.

"The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety and I personally are grateful for the invaluable assistance given to us in this case," Gordon said in a statement. "I commend the U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Squad for their work in bringing a dangerous suspect into custody."

Woods has been charged with murder, aggravated assault, burglary, armed robbery and firearm possession, according to jail records.
